Play Pokémon While Shredding Hot Riffs With This Combination Electric Guitar and Game Boy

Like millions of humans on planet earth, I’m a self-identified gamer and guitar player. But I never had the genius idea, or the technical prowess, to smash the two together. Luckily, one electronic maker did and now we get to bask in his glorious creation.

The Guitar Boy itself is running on a Raspberry Pi B+ with RetroPie version 2.3. The a 5-inch LCD display is powered by a 2,200 mAh battery. The guitar is a simple passive setup, which uses a humbucker pickup. A simple audio selector on the side chooses whether the sound comes from the guitar or the hacked together Game Boy.
